Trail: Appapachian Trail, Bulls Bridge South Date Hiked: 03/09/07 Conditions: 0-3" ice, covered with 0 to 1/2" snow: areas exposed to the south can be muddy in the afternoon Special Required Equipment: Crampons are essential to go up or down any significant slope Hiking poles are also required to maintain balance Comments: The snow over the ice can lead you into a false sense of good footing until you start to climb. I slipped and slid about 15 feet trying to climb Ten Mile Hill. I had some trouble getting back doun the slope due to ice. Submitted by: Joe Reed |
